Marina Bay Sands, Singapore: A Perfect Staycation
“A standout amongst the city’s iconic skyline, Marina Bay Sands in an architectural wonder that beautifully blends Singapore’s storied history with its pioneering future.”
From a long distance, the Marina Bay Sands and their “three famous columns towers appear as straight columns. However, they are slightly slanted to a specific angle of twenty-six degrees.” This sloping design is “reminiscent of two playing cards leaned against the other to form a house of cards.” – From Marina Bay Sands.
The resort features the SkyPark’s open-air setting, which showcases stunning 360° views of the sprawling city below. Spot attractions like Gardens by the Bay, Marina Bay Grand Prix Street Circuit, Singapore Flyer, and the ArtScience Museum while you are at the top. Gardens by the Bay, the premier horticulture attraction of Singapore, gets access to Avatar: The Experience.
At the Cloud Forest, be awed by one of the tallest indoor waterfalls and the imposing mountain wrapped in plants from all around the world. The waterfront Heritage Gardens will leave you in awe with its botanical representation of Indian, Chinese, Malay, and Colonial themes.
The Flower Dome exudes radiance, with a temperature-controlled dome and a changing display of flora from the Mediterranean regions. Head to the Supertree Observatory to take in the picturesque views of Singapore’s cityscape and Marina Reservoir’s pristine waters.
